架构师提供的文本描述。一片未开发的60英尺宽的土地，延伸了三个街区，是20世纪30年代两个住宅开发合并的结果。随着时间的推移，三个街区的每一端都建起了房子。莫雷蒂的房子是从购买这60‘x300’地块中的一个开始的，这是唯一一个没有现有房子的地段。

Text description provided by the architects. An undeveloped sixty-foot wide parcel of land, extending three blocks is a result of two residential developments merging in the 1930’s. In time, houses were built on each end of the three blocks. Moretti’s house began with the purchase of one of these 60’ x 300’ lots, the only lot without an existing house.

街道的高度给人一种坚实的感觉。穿过绿色的入口门，庭院向天空敞开，起居的地方向充满阳光的私人花园开放。

The street elevation gives an appearance of solid. Once past the green entry gate, the courtyards open to the sky and the living areas open to a private garden filled with sunlight.

房子的主要体积是在CMU中包覆的。这两个院子和门廊都是用油漆夹住的金属。花园里的工作室里有道格拉斯冷杉(DouglasFIR)。玻璃桥将主室连接到工作室。

The main volume of the house is clad in CMU. The two courtyards and porch are clad in paint-grip metal. The studio in the garden is clad with Douglas fir. A glass bridge connects the main house to the studio.

两个立方体的庭院被插入到主住宅的构图中。庭院就像“光井”，在室内充满了周围的光线。庭院的北墙是由一个钢框架和白色半透明的面板组成的。阳光投射在白色的玻璃板上，阳光在这些庭院里不断移动。阳光的移动通过屋顶入口投射到白色半透明的面板上，反映了一天的流逝。

Two cubic courtyards are inserted within the main house composition. The courtyards serve as “light wells” filling the interiors with ambient light. The north walls of the courtyards are composed of a steel frame with white translucent panels. The sunlight is cast on the white fiberglass panels and the sunlight is constantly in motion within these courtyards. The movement of sunlight is cast onto the white translucent panels through the roof portal, reflecting the passage of the day.

朝南门廊上方的深悬，可防止阳光直接到达窗墙；即使在冬季，太阳的移动弧也是最低的。门廊沿着花园的长度延伸，并用作内部和景观之间的阈值。

The deep overhang above the south-facing porch prevents direct sunlight from reaching the window wall; even in winter when the sun’s arc of movement is lowest. The porch runs the length of the garden and serves as a threshold between the interiors and the landscape.

一条雨链由八股组成，每个孙子一根。一根铝管收集着铁链，代表着他们祖母的怀抱

A rain chain is designed with eight strands, one for each grandchild. An aluminum pipe collects the chains, representing their grandmother’s embrace
